It would be her most prolific year, as she would contribute to 11 screenplays that year, either as the screenwriter, or providing the story, or adapting from another source.[2] One of the films she adapted that year was 1924's A Boy of Flanders, from Marie Louise de la Ramée's 1872 novel, A Dog of Flanders. The film was directed by Victor Schertzinger, and starred Jackie Coogan.[3]

Some of her notable films were her 1928 adaptation of The Shepherd of the Hills, based on the 1907 novel of the same name by Harold Bell Wright;[4] her original screenplay for The Wagon Master (1929), starring Ken Maynard;[5] and the hit film, Min and Bill (1930), which she co-wrote with Frances Marion, which stars Marie Dressler and Wallace Beery.[6]
